Lummus Park

Lummus Park is a beach, but not just any beach. It's the main stretch of beach that fronts the ocean in South Beach Miami. Extending from 5th Street to 15th Street, Lummus Park is the center of it all in South Beach Miami. With the trendiest and busiest nightclubs, cafes restaurants, and hotels facing Lummus Park, it's the place to be, day or night, in South Beach Miami. Lummus Park is where you'll find the famous multi-colored lifeguard stations that for some are the symbol of South Beach Miami, and which are the subject of countless photographs. Palm trees offer shelter for the sun-weary, and a boardwalk offers an easy walkway for those who want to move from one part of South Beach Miami to another. Hotels facing Lummus Park often have their cafes or outdoor dining facing the beach, so guests can sip and dine and watch the world go by. Or, they can enjoy the view of Lummus Park from their private balconies, hundreds of which look out onto the beach and the ocean beyond. There's also a children's play area in the center, and showers on the boardwalk so you can rinse off the salt and sand before you leave the park and enter the streets of South Beach Miami, or head back to your hotel. The wide sidewalk accommodates in-line skaters, the elderly population who come out to the beach mostly in the morning, posers, strutters, vacationers, and everyone else who makes Lummus Park their destination for the moment.

Lummus Park in South Beach Miami is named after John and James Lummes, who, believe it or not, ran a plantation here at the turn of the century (the last one). Today, it's home to famous and ever-growing outdoor concerts with the likes of Luciano Pavorotti, video shoots, TV production, and you name it. This is South Beach Miami at its best!
